North Arlington man indicted in child-sex case

NORTH ARLINGTON — A borough man has been indicted on charges related to the alleged sexual assault of two young girls, authorities said on Friday.

Richard G. Grossy, 40, was arrested last year on charges that he sexually assaulted two girls who were described by authorities as acquaintances. One of the girls was 12 and the other 13, authorities said at the time. Police said they were contacted by the 12-year-old girl’s mother.

Authorities said on Friday that a grand jury indicted Grossy last month on 11 charges that include four counts of sexual assault by sexual contact, three counts of aggravated criminal sexual contact, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of promoting obscene materials. Specific information about the charges was not available Friday.

Grossy was being held Friday in the Bergen County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
